AI Search criteria

Describe what you want in plain words; the AI reads every article and keeps only the matches.

An AI Search tab is a standing question to the AI: every new article from the workspace is checked against it, and only matches land in the tab. You can have several tabs, each with its own criterion.

Create a criterion

  1. Click + at the end of the tab strip. The Feed Setup panel opens with AI Search selected.
  2. In Full Prompt, say in plain words what you are looking for, as specifically as you can: Economic forecasts for the European real estate market.
  3. Optionally add keywords (see below) and an age limit, then press Done.
  4. The tab gets a short title written by the AI. Edit later with the sliders icon on the tab.

AI Search prompts need an analysis AI (Settings → AI → Criteria & Tags). If it is set to Not Selected, prompt tabs stay empty. See Choosing an AI.

Keywords

Keyword Pre-Filter runs before the AI and costs nothing:

Word forms in other languages

Keywords match literally, so Germany won't find Deutschland. Click Word forms on a keyword chip to list its forms per language, or press Fill in with AI. The AI first asks what the word means (useful for words with several senses), then fills in the forms; your own entries are kept.

Word forms of a keyword in every language. A warning sign marks languages the on-device model doesn't support well.

How an article is matched

  1. Keywords are checked first.
  2. If there is a prompt, the analysis AI answers yes or no. Answers are cached, so re-fetching is cheap.
  3. With Skip off-topic news without AI on (Settings → AI, on by default), an on-device model learns from the AI's answers and skips plainly unrelated news. This saves about half the requests and can rarely miss a match.
